Proof U.S. Supreme Court Says You Don’t Need a License to Drive in the United States!

U.S. SUPREME COURT AND OTHER HIGH COURT CITATIONS PROVING THAT NO LICENSE IS NECESSARY FOR NORMAL USE OF AN AUTOMOBILE ON COMMON WAYS

“The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horsedrawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but a common right which he has under his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Under this constitutional guaranty one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his inclination along the public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in an orderly and decent manner, neither interfering with nor disturbing another’s rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct.”

Comments

What about the liability of people using their right… Whom cant drive sh*t? Should their internal organs be stripped to compensate damages? I can understand aplication of these precedents when a person has lost his/her driving license, but for a person takeing a truck to public road with 3 minutes experience and vague understanding of commonly accepted traffic ”procedures” sounds like a recipe to disaster.

Firstly, the automobile is insured not the operator. Whether a licensed operator of record is required for coverage is the option of the insurance company. They usually need a license to identify the primary operator of the vehicle to establish the insurance premium. A legal request for license presentation is only necessary, if a vehicle is being operated for business or profit.

Both licensed and unlicensed operators are subject to obeying traffic laws and rules and may be prosecuted for violations.

Before anyone tries to use these decisions as a defense,it would be wise to investigate the circumstances under which they are operating a motor vehicle. For instance, Black’s Law dictionary is considered the authority for legal argot. It describes a “driver” as one who operates to conduct business and needs a license. If one operates for their own interests, then a license may not be required. Local laws, though possibly unconstitutional, may not accept Black’s definition

If you sign a document admitting to be a “driver”, like a ticket charging “driving without a license” well, good luck. If you are appearing Pro Se, expect to lose. Courts don’t accept deviations from their sense of “normal” and will find you guilty all the while knowing that you’re innocent!

So what I am getting from this article is that a person can also walk or use a non motorized bicycle on highways. Why are there signs sometimes posted on entry ramps prohibiting this? In Illinois you would defintely be arrested for drving without a license.

There you go! Normal necessity of life needs no overreach, boot on your neck, regulated bureaucracy, taxed to death law from the control-freaks, communist liberals, self-important asses and radical leftist up there.

The same thing must be applied to your right to SELF-DEFENSE to carry any weapon you please in the same vein of which they have no authority too.

The only thing government is SUPPOSE to do with self-defense APPLIES to the COUNTRY as a well-regulated, bearing arms MILITIA to be necessary to the SECURITY of a FREE STATE.

However, they never push this on you like they are suppose to and for good reason. THEY FEAR THE PEOPLE!!! Which is how it is suppose to be!

What kind of morons think they have the right to drive a multi-thousand pound death machine down the road? Driving is dangerous, hence why it is a privilege not a right. If you are a drunk driver, can’t see well, or are susceptible to seizures you have no business on the road. Do you also think those roads that you drive down magically pay for themselves?

Not only are you naysayers not ‘drivers’ but not even likely to be ‘US citizens’ (US corporate employees). You get treated as both because you sign legal papers without knowing what the hell you’re doing. You falsely told the DMV you were a ‘US citizen’ on their form. As you do on 1040s every April. Then you get online and lecture the rest of us how we’re going to be arrested if we don’t obey. You just have egotistical cogdiss and don’t want to believe you’ve been hoodwinked all your life. Suckas.

Youtubes galore teach you these matters and even show cop interactions. If you’ve never hauled cargo for pay, or taken passengers for pay, then you’ve never been a driver in your life — and NEVER needed a license. The city cabbie who takes you to the airport has a license exactly like yours, and uses it in commerce. That’s the supposed purpose of a driver’s license. Limo drivers and truck drivers are the only people who need one. When you travel freely (not ‘drive’) you simply assume full liability for your actions.

Licensing is a bit of a joke anyway. They only test you every 7 or 10 years and most of that time you don’t even take the written exam, you just hand in your old card for an updated photo. They let octogenarians on the road, people. They also hand out DLs to illegal aliens in California.

You need to understand these cards are more about people tracking and presumed consent to US corporate policy enforced by policy enforcement aka ‘police’ upon corporate employees aka ‘US citizens’ and ‘dirvers.’ The PTB do not promote them because they care about your safety, which they violate every day with the heavy metal chemtrails they spray on your dumb heads.

Watch these youtubes: cV8gRA-JYeg BQFpKkIFKP4

And learn from Anna von Reitz and others. She has some choice warning words about the right to travel.

If you go this route, nothing can be tied to the state, or a business interest…

TOTALLY NUDE DRIVING = NO DRIVERS’ LICENSE, NO REGISTRATION, NO LICENSE PLATE, these are connected to the State…

NO INSURANCE, there is the business interest / connected to the State…

BETTER TO OWN YOUR CAR OUTRIGHT, THEN IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, OTHERWISE IF YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF DEBT ON IT = A BUSINESS INTEREST, BE IT A BANK LOAN, OR SOME KIND OF OTHER PAPERWORK = CONNECTED TO THE STATE…

Check out YOUTUBE = there are a lot of good videos explaining all of this ILLEGAL criminal enterprise bullshit

that’s an awful lot to remember, and judges deplore these decisions because it cuts into the states corporate profits!

it would be better to challenge a prosecutor’s lack of evidence and a witness with personal firsthand knowledge, that the constitution “along with all subsequent, laws, statutes, codes, policies, edicts, etc” applies to anyone just because they are physically within a particular geographic area..
Fyi; no such evidence exists that any of it applies to anyone, anywhere, ever! Sure you believe it applies, the government wonks believe it all applies.. but NO ONE CAN PROVE IT APPLIES!

Educate yourselves.. you can learn how you’ve been lied to your entire lives.. marc stevens has a website whose members challenge the prosecutor and these challenges are winning more and more often BECAUSE NO SUCH EVIDENCE EXISTS OF APPLICABILITY!
ITS ALL FRAUD FOLKS!

Does your 11 year old expect to have the right to bear arms? He COULD shoot wildly and kill someone unless YOU train him on how to use a firearm. But no matter what AGE he is, he DOES have the right to bear arms because he was BORN in the USA!

Your argument is foolish. When he is old enough to be responsible driving, he can exercise his right. But it’s up to YOU to make sure he knows how to drive, not the state. Does the state require firearm training before he can exercise his 2nd Amendment rights? NOPE. again it’s up to YOU to train him.

Unfortunately, when it comes to winning in court, 99.9% of citizens give up and never get a ruling on these issues. It’s expensive to fight strong-arm state and local governments that protect their fiefdoms. And federal judges these days are all statists, so don’t expect to win on these grounds. These kind of legal thinkers are pretty much gone.
